THE BOOMING SOUTH.

baltimore, October 7.-Manufacturers'
record for this week publishes a compilation
OF the increase in the manufacture OF cotton in
several states of the south and the percentage
OF profit which will average fully twenty per
cent on cost. Beginning with South Carolina
it says the Pacolet company, with 1000 spin
dies. is building another mill of equal size and
the Pelser company, with 22000 spindles, is
building another large mill. At Marion, a
100000 mill is in course of construction; one
Of $4,000 at Greenville one at Clifton of
100000; one at Bennetsyillc Of 100000; one
at Columbia of $4,000, and one at Fort Mill
of 100000, while others are projected at
Greenwood, Spartanburg, Anderson, Chester,
Camden and other points. In North Carolina
mill is being built at Lincolnton to cost $780,
900; at Big Falls, one of 0,000; at Concord,
one of $4,000; at Enorce, one Of 100000,
while others will be built at Davidson college
and other points.
In Georgia, at Columbus, the Swift compa-
ny has added 5000 spindles to their mill the
Muscogee, of the same place, a new mill of 400
looms; the King company, seventy looms and
$4,000 spindles, and at Augusta, GAINESVILLE,
Americas, West Point, Dalton and Savannah
large improvements are being made and new
mills building. In Maryland S250,000 have
been expended by the Laurel mills, while the
mills at Mount Vernon and Elkton are being
enlarged. There are also notable improve
ments in Texas and Tennessee all looking to
the enlargement of plant, the present facilities
having been found insufficient.

THE GREAT WALL.
Something About Chinas Most Marvellous
Object of Historic Interest.

Something About Chlna's Most Marvellous
Object of Historic Interest.
OF course we had to go to the great
wall of China. This country abounds
in great walls. Her mural defenses
were most eXtensiye-walled country,
walled cities, walled villages, walled
palaces and temples-wall after wall
and wall within wall. But the great
est of all is the great wall of China,
which crests the mountain range and
crosses the gorge from here some forty
miles away. Squeezing through the
last deep gorge and a deep rift in the
solid rock cut out by ages of rolling
wheels and tramping feet, we reach
the great frowning, double Fashioned
gate of stone and hard burned brick
one archway tumbled in. This was
the object of our mission, the great
wall of China, built two hundred and
thirteen years before our era; built of
great slabs of well-hewn stone, laid in
regular courses some w entv feet high
and then topped out with large, hard
burned bricks, filled in with earth and
closely paved on the top with moro
dark tawny brick-the ramparts high
and thick and castellated for the use of
arms. Right and left the great wall
Sprang far up the mountain sde-now
straight, now curved, to meet the
mountain ridge, turreted each three
hundred feet-a frowning mass of ma
sonry. No need to tell you of this
wall; the books will tell you how it was
built to keep the warlike Tartars out
twenty-five feet high by forty thick.
twelve hundred miles long, with room
on top for six horses TO be driven
abreast Nor need tell you that for
fourteen hundred years it kept those
hordes at bay, nor that, in the main,
the material used upon it is just as good
| and firm and strong as when put in
place. Twelve hundred miles of this
gigantic work built on the rugged,
craggy mountain tops, vaulting over
gorges, spanning wide streams, netting
the river archways with huge hard
bars of copper, with double gates,
with swinging doors and bars set thick
with iron armor-a wonder in the world
before which the old time classic seven
wonders, all gone now save the great
pyramid, were toys. The great pyra-
mid has eighty-five million cubic feet
the great wall $3.50, 600, 900 cubic feet
An engineer in Stewards party here
some years ago gave it as his opinion
that the cost of this wall, figuring labor
at the same rate, would more than
equal that of all the one hundred
thousand miles of railroad in the United
States. The material it contains would
build wall six feet high and two feet
thick right straight around the globe.
ret this was done IN only twenty years
without trace of debt or bond. 1t is
the greatest individual labor the world
has ever known.-Cor. Milling World.

HUNTING SEALS,
Tricks and Deceptions Practieed by Ex-
perienced Esquimau Hunters.


perienced Esquimau Hunters.
Seal hunting on the ice is another
standing source of amusement. During
the entire winter these animals keep
holes open through the shore ice, but
on account of the depth of the snow
they are not seen until the mild weather
exposes their hiding places. The Es-
quimau. however, has a way of finding
them out before this. He harnesses
dog that has been trained for the work
and leads him out to the snow covered
field, where the two walk backward and
forward, making zigzag course over
the ice. Probably before long the dog
catches the scent, and then takes his
master straight to the seals house.
Under the hard, thick crust of the snow
there is quite a large room, which at
the time of the discovery may or may
not be occupied; but if occupied, will
very soon be vacant on the arrival of
the hunters. In either case, the Es-
quimau ascertains the exact position of
the hole, and then, placing little pin
nacle of snow over it awaits the arrival
of his victim. The native becomes
aware of the seals return by hearing a
peculiar blowing noise, and as soon as
this commences he thrusts his spear
down vertically through the snow into
the hole and secures his prey. Some
times when the snow is very deep the
dogs are not able to find the holes,
and then it is that the poor Esquimau
has his hard times. In the spring, snow
disappearing from the ice, the seals
are exposed to view. Then the hunter
takes another way of getting at them.
First of all he notices the direction of
the wind, and then Keeping his enemy
in it walks to within four or five
hundred yards of him. From there he
I begins to crouch down and to advance
only when the seal is not looking.
The wary animal is in the habit of
throwing up his head quickly every
few seconds and looking about, and so
when within about two hundred wards
the native lies down fiat upon the ice.
1t is only now that real sport com
mences. Seal takes Esquimau, who
is able to talk seal perfectly, to be one
of his brothers, and indeed there is a
great deal of resemblance between the
species, for the genus homo is dressed
in sealskin and, living largely upon its
flesh, is similarly odorous. The two
lie on the ice for perhaps half an hour,
keeping up a sort of broken converse
ton. part of which is conducted in the
ordinary way and part by means of
peculiar gestures, until the Esquimau
has crept to within about thirty yards
of his outwitted companion. The ami
mails eye, then being clearly visible, is
no sooner turned from the hunter than
he presents his rifle and fires The
seal. if shot through the head. is killed
Instantly; but if hit in any other place
defeats his enemy by disappearing
through the ice. - Toronto Mail.

Cowhage or Mucuna, prariens, as it
is called in medical dictionaries, is pro-
badly the most powerful irritant extant
1t comes from leguminous climbing
plants and will produce an intense itch
ing that will drive man crazy. Re-
Gently, a girl employed as a waiter at a
Minneapolis hotel, for some reason or
other, became possessed of an intense
hatred of travelling man. To avenge
herself for some fancied insult, she pro-
cured quantity of cowhage and plenti-
fully besprinkled his bed with it. AS a
RESULT, the victim was driven nearly
frantic. His groans attracted attention
and help was summoned. He was
given a warm bath and soundly
scrubbed. Afterward cold cream was
applied, but it was several hours before
he could find any relief. -Chicago Her

SHEEP IN WINTER.
Course of Feeding Which Will Improve
the Thrift of the Flock.

Course of Feeding Which Will Improve
the Thrift of the Flock.
There is a difference of opinion as to
what sheep should be fed in winter.
The old-time idea that sheep would do
plenty well enough on bean-stalks and
buckwheat straw has been pretty gen.
orally abandoned in these enlightened
days, when stock growing and breed
ing keep pace with other lines of pro-
gress. There are some who still adj
here to the old traditional notion, but
they are mostly in the minority and
rapidly becoming fewer.
To be sure there are some kinds of
fodder-the bean-stalk for instance
chat sheep will readily eat, while no
other animal will touch it, if given
choice in the matter; but that is no
proof that sole diet of bean-stalks, or
other coarse fodder, is the best thing in
he world for sheep. Sheep do not
thrive best on woody, fibrous fodder,
nor does any other farm animal. The
slighter grinding power and smaller
capacity of sheep render them less
capable of consuming such fodder than
larger animals are. In proof of this
| look in the managers of sheep and cat
tie and make a comparison. But little
''orts" is left in the cattle manger,
while large amount is left in the
sheep racks. The woody stems of
timothy hay and the clover stocks are
nearly all left, unless indeed the poor
sheep are starved down to such diet
Sheep and young calves should, we
| are satisfied have the finest tenderpSt
hay that the place affords. Early cut
June hay, well cured, is very much
relished by them and will be eaten up
quite clean. Sheep like the heads and
leaves of even the coarsest grasses, for
there is much grain in the heads, but
they should not be expected to eat the
coarse stalks.
Perhaps, more than any other ami
NAL, sheep need little grain in win
ter. Especially the eve with lamb
needs a supplementary ration OF
grain. The strain upon her system
must be met and supported by good
rations. The demands upon her vital
ity and enduring powers in the midst
Of cold, hard winter must be sus-
tanned by the proper amount of fuel
The animal machine has only GER
tain fixed capacity, and hence bulk
can not be made the substitute for
quality. A small portion of condensed
grain food is necessary to the welfare
Of the eve under these conditions. A
pint day each of corn and oats will
work wonders in the thrift and appear
ance of flock.-ScottiS Agricultural
| Gazette.
